1 Dec 05 - Pension scheme in Italy

Source: The Straits Times, Dec 1, 2005

Italy:

The state pension system has helped make Italy one of the world's most indebted nations. At 15% of gross domestic product, its pension spending is among the highest in Europe.

To ease the pressure, a 2004 law raises the retirement age for men to 60 from 2008 or after 40 contribution years.

Isn't 60 still a little early to retire? Should make it 65 man! Not only that, work 5.5 days a week to make the economy more productive! Heehee...
